Gynecological Plastic Surgery in Israel

Reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgeries at Top Ihilov Medical Center are performed by experienced surgeons, while gynecologists with many years of experience handle preliminary diagnostics. The widespread use of laser surgical methods ensures our patients quick recovery and the absence of complications after surgery.

Types of Gynecological Plastic Surgery

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty involves changing the shape or size of the labia minora. Asymmetrical or excessively large labia minora can cause discomfort. Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, several techniques may be used for their correction. Most of these surgeries are performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases, sedative medications are used.

According to a 2008 study, 32% of women who underwent labiaplasty did so to correct functional disorders, 37% underwent the procedure for aesthetic reasons, and 31% cited both reasons. Results from a 2011 study indicate that 90-95% of patients who underwent labiaplasty found the results of the surgery completely satisfactory.

Labiaplasty at Top Ihilov Clinic is performed using several methods.

• Resection of the labia minora – the earliest type of labiaplasty, in which part of the labia is removed. This procedure is most commonly performed as it is the simplest to execute.
• Resection of the central fragments of the labia – a more modern method of labiaplasty, in which only the central areas of the labia are removed (the incision is made in the shape of a wedge or the English letter V). The remaining tissues are sewn together. The advantage of this method is that the outer edges of the labia remain untouched.
• De-epithelialization involves the removal of the epithelium on the central and outer areas of the labia minora, thereby reducing their excessive length.

Vaginoplasty

With age or after childbirth, some women notice a decrease in vaginal tone. This can affect intimate life. Vaginoplasty – surgical reduction of the size of the vagina – may become the method of choice if other methods of restoring its shape and muscle tone are ineffective. In some cases, vaginoplasty is performed after surgical treatment, removal of malignant neoplasms, or abscesses to restore the physiologically normal shape and function of the vagina.

In Israeli clinics, vaginoplasty can be performed for a variety of indications and using several methods.

• Reconstructive vaginoplasty after cancer treatment – radiotherapy for malignant tumours can lead to destruction or undesirable changes in the tissues of the vaginal walls. In this case, vaginoplasty is used as a method to restore the vagina and adjacent structures.
• The McIndoe method – surgical formation of a channel between the bladder and urethra in the anterior area of the pelvis. A fragment of skin from another part of the body (thighs, buttocks, perineum) is used to form the walls of the channel. The layer lining the vagina formed in this way is created from skin tissues, amniotic membranes, or mucous membrane sections.
• Designer vaginoplasty, vaginal rejuvenation – a method that has gained popularity in recent years aimed at aesthetically improving the shape of the vagina.
• The Vecchietti method – a laparoscopic procedure used in the treatment of congenital developmental anomalies of the Müllerian ducts (particularly characterized by underdevelopment or absence of the vagina). During the operation, the walls of the vagina are recreated from the skin of the perineum.

Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty aims to restore the hymen. The hymen may be damaged due to trauma, tampon use, or unwanted sexual contact.

Hymenoplasty can be temporary or permanent. If a patient only needs to temporarily restore the hymen, the surgeons at our clinic can stitch its edges – in this case, complete healing and fusion of the hymen do not occur. This operation is particularly in demand among patients planning to get married.

Permanently restoring the hymen is performed in such a way that its tissues completely fuse and remain in a physiologically natural state for an indefinite period. A fragment of tissue lining the vagina is used for the reconstruction of the hymen. After the procedure, patients are advised to refrain from sexual contact for up to 3 months.

Surgical Treatment of Prolapse or Descent of the Genital Organs

Treatment of prolapse and, as its final consequence, descent of the vagina or uterus involves the use of many surgical techniques, including vaginoplasty and other types of interventions.

Perineoplasty

Perineoplasty is used for comprehensive correction of the perineum, correcting its deformities. It is often performed after childbirth and includes plastic surgery of the external genitalia, the vaginal entrance, and the adjacent area, restoration of the anatomical structures of the vagina, removal of scars, and stitching of the pelvic floor muscles.

Laser Technologies in Gynecological Plastic Surgery

In Israeli clinics, laser plastic surgery of female genital organs is widely used, especially in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery.

Lasers are used in restoring the shape of the vagina, reduction labiaplasty, reduction of the clitoral hood, perineoplasty, and other types of surgical interventions. Often at Top Ihilov, lasers are used to correct cosmetic defects caused by previous plastic surgeries that our patients underwent in clinics in their home countries. The use of lasers instead of traditional scalpels reduces blood loss, minimizes the risk of infection, and accelerates tissue healing times.
